saying that we should have 20,000 more folks in there. the same way that you said that it was mission creep to go after gadhafi. when it comes to going after osama bin laden, you said any president would make that call but when you were a candidate in 2008, as i was, and i said if i got bin laden in our sights i would take that shot. you said we shouldn't move heaven and earth to get one man. you said we should ask pakistan for permission. if we asked pakistan for permission, we would have not gotten him. and it was worth moving heaven and earth to get him. >> and i think i jumped over your head with one hand. what? did you feel a breeze on your scalp. >> stephanie: a bitch slap. dana in maryland.

talking -- cbs poll has the president winning by about 30 points. that's about how i saw it. how about you? >> yeah, i think he exposed romney's inconsistencies, domestically and on the foreign policy issue and i thought he was great. he pinned him down and looked like he was the commander in chief, and romney looked like he was trying to take an eighth great world history test. >> stephanie: yeah he was hoping it was just pass fail. >> yeah. >> stephanie: you nailed it this is the thing we hear over and over again about mitt romney. who is he? which mitt romney is he? he can't be trusted. but particularly in the area of foreign policy you saw that. >> exactly. and it wasn't even about the details or the nuance it is

just that he has flipped and flopped on these issues which firmed up the narrative of this guy will say anything he has to say to win the election. and while the details don't matter to most people it feeds into that narrative, and it hurt him as he is clearly the man who will say anything he has to say. not only he not ready to be commander in chief, he will say anything he has to say to try to get elected. trying to score little points against obama and really not know what he was talking about. he was ready to go into syria a few weeks ago and now he has backed off. >> stephanie: exactly. what is he going to do now about benghazi or libya, after he first stepped into it by

releasing a statement before he knew anything. somebody was saying -- and you -- they are saying that romney obviously at this point is getting briefings. he must know -- obviously -- he didn't touch it last night, right? >> yeah, i was really surprised too. i thought he was going to go there, but i think the president clearly has the trust of the american people, and i think romney probably doesn't want to look like he is trying to score political points on the part of our ambassador. but i think obama had in his hip pocket, the fact that libbians are supportive of america, and marching in the street in support of america, so i think romney probably knew and was advised that if he goes down that road, here is what obama is going to play. i thought obama should have made that .1 or two more times.

when romney was saying we're weaker in the world. he should have said go talk to the 10,000 libbians marching in the street for america. >> stephanie: the more information that comes out, the more it supports what the administration is saying. they are giving the information as they have gotten it and it supports what they were saying. it was partially connecteded to this video. right? more information that comes out is backing up what the white house has said. >> yeah, exactly. that's the reality of dealing with countries in northern africa or the middle east is it is very confusing and to try to come off looking like you are going to somehow address these complications and complexities when you can't even go to london

during the olympics and not step it, it's like really? >> stephanie: yeah, you would think that would be the starter place. okay, let's try britain. >> exactly. maybe he should have started in toronto, you know? and then worked his way over. [ laughter ] >> okay. you are going to halifax, nova scotia, and if you do okay we'll work our way over to the united kingdom. >> stephanie: the best information have it seems to me, is this was not necessarily a well-organized terrorist act, it was to some degree a flash mob that was reacting to the other protests in cairo? reaction to the video. >> it's hard -- i think honestly it is hard to tell.

we have not been in d.c. and gotten any briefings on this. the president and probably even romney are way ahead of what the press know -- congress knows at this point. but how hypocritical for these republicans who cut the security budget, who would not give the administration the budget they wanted to protect these embassies, turn around and say why didn't you have enough people working at the embassies. this is how they operate. romney fights obama on china, and then comes around and says i'm going to be tougher on china than you are. you almost want to scream like an eighth grader and cry to your parents and say, you are not

allowed to do that. but they do it. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: this darrell issa thing, i don't even know what to say. you talk about playing politics with national security. he released names of people in libya that are working with us.% put them in danger, and maybe endangered the entire investigation. what do we do about that? >> there actually should be an investigation into that. and there was an article last wreak about a hearing they had that they were outing cia agents. and him and the -- the fella from utah i forget -- >> stephanie: jason. >> jason, yeah. going into these details and you just think -- to me this has been a real learning experience

of now we know why we don't talk about foreign policy in details and politicize it. because it is so complicated, and there are so many special ops forces doing work all over the world. you don't always know what they are doing, and it's not always for public consumption and when you see people willing to politicize it -- especially the chair of a committee, and then holding a hearing, going to d.c. to really make the point to politicize this is crazy. >> stephanie: you have been in a congress where you have had literally unprecedented obstructionism from the other side, but you are right. there doesn't seem to be in rules in their blood lust to get

the president out of office, right? >> exactly. and i think that's what may turn people off. you really do see the recklessness of this stuff and you do put american lives in danger. i remember traveling halfway around the world a few years ago, and boom we're in the middle of africa, and we have troops there doing some training. they are doing trainings. you just don't know what the situation is, so you do what your parents used to teach you when you were a kid, and you shut your mouth. >> so i shouldn't mention that safe house at 132 elm street. ops! >> hello! >> stephanie: loose lips sink tiny ships. what was one of your favorite moments? how do you get a better response than that, we used to have more

horses and bayonets too. >> yeah, that was my favorite. >> stephanie: it's true obviously the commander in chief goes into a debate like that with an advantage, but it couldn't have been anymore lob sided, i don't think, did you? >> no. and i thought the president realized he had a huge advantage. and when you have advantage you take it. he put him on the map and you don't let him up. and i thought that was really significant. he was looking at romney and staring him down and even got into some domestic issues that i think are important about the auto industry in ohio which is very good. the china issue, and how romney flipped on that, was good. he was clearly the person that

most americans would look and say, yeah, that's the guy. >> stephanie: before you go speaking of ohio because somebody said, they are really running for president of ohio. >> yeah. >> stephanie: what is the latest in ohio? >> i think the president is going to fine. we got to get the turnout. we have had really good surrogates coming in. but i think he is holding the lead and it comes down to a couple of things. the economy is much better in ohio. the auto industry touches almost every single of the 88 counties in ohio and romney has been on the wrong side of that. the president stuck husband neck out. and lastly we had a collective bargaining issue that was on the

ballot. similar to wisconsin, but we also had police and fire involved in that. romney campaigned against, police, fire teachers and public employees. we won that referendum at 62%. so you have police firefighter, and teachers also supporting obama. and i think that's why you are seeing a five or six point lead with obama. >> stephanie: yeah. >> that's why we're seeing these numbers hold. >> stephanie: representative ryan thank you for coming and bringing your fancy title and opinion to the show. >> so now is not the time to tell i am in a bathrobe right now?

can't continue to do nation building in these regions, part of american leadership is making sure that we're doing nation building here at home. >> the cia told me that -- >> stephanie: oops. alan in colorado you are on the "stephanie miller show" with kathleen. hi alan. >> caller: how about a real light joke. i tried to call after your remark about your sleeping vagina, you had to get up and walk around because your vagina was asleep. >> stephanie: i don't recall that. >> caller: it really stuck with me there. and i just wanted to say being married for 40 years, i just wanted to let sleeping vaginas

home. >> he can also read a map, unlike mitt romney. [ laughter ] >> yeah apparently there's more than one way to the sea. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: so little time so many highlights last night. obviously the one everyone is talking about is we have fewer horses and bayonets too. but mitt romney it seemed like somebody was trying to fill out a blue book. he just does not have the foreign policy experience or knowledge, does he? >> i think that was evident last night. while president obama demonstrated his strength focus, and clarity, and mitt romney demonstrated how little he has of any of that and how not ready he is period but not ready to be commander in chief, and what was -- at any point he was either seeming like he was auditioning to be president obama's secretary of state,

because he was agreeing with him so much or engaged in reckless chest beating, or really just seemed like he didn't have any idea how to answer the questions. and what that presents is a huge problem. when you have someone who is auditions for commander in chief, and shows that lack of clarity that really puts america in jeopardy. >> stephanie: i have to say it's amazing any of us can be surprised by mitt romney's position flips. but last night, was particularly amazing. the neo-cons in his circle must have been going crazy. >> if there is any subject matter, any area that you absolutely have to have clarity and clear focus, it's foreign

policy. the commander in chief doesn't get a second chance to get it right, and if you aren't prepared then you have no business running for the job. >> stephanie: yeah, i loved the president today said he had third stage romneysia last night. [ laughter ] >> whether it was the issue of iraq, iran, al-qaeda russia -- when the president said that the 1980s called and they want their foreign policy back, listening to that bit on the debate i could have closed my eyes and thought i was getting a history lesson of the foreign policy of my childhood. >> stephanie: yeah everyone is trying to decide who can sound the re -- ronald reaganyist.

>> yeah. we live in a global economy, and because we are had preestablished under his leadership, our leadership role in the world, we're able to influence the global economy, which makes a difference for us in the united states, and allows us to rebuild our economy from the middle class out and not the top down. >> stephanie: let me just say in place like ohio, i am so glad -- listen to this exchange with me again. >> romney: i am son of detroit. i was born in detroit. i like american cars. and i would do nothing to hurt the u.s. auto industry. my plan to get the industry on its feet when it was in real trouble was not writing checks. i said these companies need to

go through a managed bankruptcy and then they can get government help and guarantees but they need to go through bankruptcy to get rid of excess costs -- >> obama: governor romney that's not what you said. >> you can look at the op-ed -- >> obama: you did not say you were providing government help -- >> >> romney: i said under no circumstances would i do anything other than to help this industry get on its feet and the idea that has been suggested they would liquidate the industry of course not. >> obama: let's check the record. >> stephanie: and the president just brought that home didn't he? they would have been liquidated. >> oh, my god. >> stephanie: there was nobody that could get a loan back then. >> there was no question but mitt -- that exchange mitt romney's statements on what his

true position was on the auto bailout doesn't pass the straight-face test. he sat there on that stage and suggested that he supported guarantees for the auto industry, which he clearly did not maybe mitt romney thinks that his op-ed in the detroit news was written in invisible or disappearing ink. >> yeah. >> but the print doesn't lie and there is no one that follows the auto industry -- ask the folks in ohio who have 88 counties, and 850,000 jobs tied to the auto industry in ohio ask them if they thought mitt romney had their back. >> stephanie: yep, absolutely. yeah, let's talk about your home state for a minute. >> yes. >> stephanie: the latest polls have romney up just a little

bit. >> yeah, margin of error, but every day is election day for the next two weeks, in florida because you have a ground game that is really really sophisticated. we closed the typical advantage that republicans have by 85%, and we lap them in early votes which starts on saturday on the 27th 27th. so we're very confident president obama will win florida again. >> stephanie: alan grayson expressed concern about voter suppression in florida. are you concerned about that? >> i was more concerned before the courts through out the voter

registration bills the governor posed. and fortunately those decisions were head down before the really critical registration period. but, yes, the voter suppression laws -- some of them are still in place, as they are across the count think, but if of the really egregious laws because we were aggressive they have been set aside. >> stephanie: one of the things we're hag the most concern about, about tagg romney owning an ownership about the voting machines in ohio. is that something you guys are paying attention to and have concerns about. >> we're focused on making sure that we can turn voters out right now, and making sure that we have a people-powered campaign that we have been standing up over the last two

years. while mitt romney has a handful of billionaires trying to buy him the right house. >> stephanie: congress woman we're two weeks out. how are you feeling? >> i'm feeling good. i think president obama is going to win the election because over the last two years, we have been sending out the most dynamic grassroots effort that people have ever seen and that will help make sure that people carry barack obama back to the white house. >> stephanie: yeah. i agree with you. >> barack obama got it done in the debates, made it clear that there is a very clear choice and stark contrast and important refocus on building the economy from the middle class our. >> stephanie: do you think he is

going to get much of a bump at of last night? >> i think every single day is important. i think the president demonstrated because he is a clear-eyed commander in chief, that more voters will support him. >> stephanie: my friend kathleen madigan comedian extrordanaire is here and she was so excited she offered to do a fund raiser just for you personally. >> just for you, you can redecorate your house or whatever you want. you were the only one that had any guts to stand up -- and from that point on i'm like i got to help get that woman money for whatever she wants. i can come down to florida and do a big-old show. >> well, let's stick to my reelection.
